The Princess and the PeaAdapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen

Once upon a time, there was a prince looking to marry a princess. One

day, his father and mother asked all the princesses in the land to come

over to their castle. Unfortunately, the prince did not get along with any

of them. The angry princesses stormed off into the rainy night. Suddenly,

there was a knock at the door. The prince opened the door to see a

beautiful princess standing in the rain. Even though she didn’t look like a

princess with her clothes and hair all wet, the prince invited her in from

the cold. She told the prince and his family that she was a princess. The

queen was doubtful. As the queen prepared the bed for the visitor, she

placed a tiny pea under 20 mattresses. Only a true princess would be

able to feel the pea! When the princess awoke the next morning, she

had a terrible pain in her back. When the prince and his family heard of

this, they knew she was indeed a real princess. The prince had found the

princess of his dreams, and the two soon got married.

a concluding sentence for this paragraph.

You probably know sharks have very sharp teeth, but did you know they never run out of them? If a shark loses a tooth, another moves forward from within the

shark’s jaw, where it keeps a nearly unlimited supply of replacement teeth. This way, it’s almost impossible for a shark to end up without a full set of teeth. This is a phenomenon unique to the shark. No other animal in the world has teeth quite like the shark’s. A shark can go through as many as 20,000 teeth in its lifetime!
